Hill named manager-of-the-season

EASTLEIGH boss Richard Hill has been named Skrill Conference South manager-of-the-season for 2013/14 after leading the Spitfires up as champions.

Hill picked up his award at the weekend’s Football Conference AGM and presentation evening at Celtic Manor in Newport where Eastleigh received a cheque for £7,500 for their title-winning exploits.

Unsurprisingly the Spitfires also featured strongly in the Skrill South team-of-the-year with four players included in the line-up.

Twin centre-backs Chris Todd and Dean Beckwith both got the nod, along with former AFC Totton and Christchurch left-back Michael Green and talented midfielder Jai Reason. Former Spitfires skipper Daryl McMahon, now of Ebbsfleet United, also featured.
